En la noche de ayer, el conflicto en Líbano se saldó con cuatro ataques de mortero a la base española Miguel de Cervantes, un casco azul serbio fallecido y dos españoles heridos.

Nuestra condena más absoluta a la violencia y todo nuestro apoyo a quienes se juegan la vida por defender la paz bajo la bandera de las Naciones Unidas.

Esperamos que todas las partes cumplan íntegramente el alto al fuego anunciado ayer y que las hostilidades terminen. La paz es el único futuro.
